affirmed that liberty comes from our creator. our rights are given to us by god, and no earthly force can ever take those rights away. that is why my administration is transferring power out of washington and returning that power back to where it belongs, to the people. to the people. the fake media is trying to silence us. but we will not let them. because the people know the truth. the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house,

but i'm president and they are not. [cheers and applause] we won and they lost. the fact is the press has destroyed themselves because they went too far. instead of being subtle and smart, they used a hatchet.

and the people saw it right from the beginning. the dishonest media will never keep us from accomplishing our objectives on behalf our great american people. it will never happen. their agenda is not your agenda. you have been saying it. i will never stop fighting for you. i'm delivering on trade, on the economy, on the supreme court, on the second amendment, on our military, for our veterans. and on our borders. where we are doing record, record stoppage. [cheers and applause] thank you.

and we are supporting our incredible police and law enforcement. we'll save american lives, protect american sovereignty, and we'll insure the forgotten men and women of our country are never forgotten again. for too long politicians have trade. oh, have they tried, to centralize authority among the hands of a small few in our nation's capital. i see them all the time.

bureaucrats think they can run over your lives, overrule your values, meddle in your faith, and tell you how to live, what to say, and where to pray. but we know that parents, not bureaucrats, know best how to raise their children and create a thriving society. and we know that families and churches, not government officials know best how to create a strong and loving community. and above all else we know this. in america we don't worship government, we worship god.

[crowd chants usa!] >> our religious liberty is enshrined in the first amendment of the bill of rights. american founders invoked our creator four times in the declaration of independence. benjamin franklin reminded his colleagues at the constitutional convention to begin by bowing their heads in prayer. i remind you that we are going

to start saying merry christmas again. [cheers and applause] inscribed on our currency are the words "in god we trust." but not only has god given us the gift of freedom. he has given us heroes willing to give their lives to defend that freedom. you just stood. in every struggle against evil throughout our history as america's service members huddled around camp fires and sought refuge in fox holes, they

called on their creator for support. in world war ii when general george patton -- we got some pattons today, too. i found them. "mad dog" mattis. [cheers and applause] and he doesn't like doing a lot of talking, but i tell you, isis, it's a whole different ballgame, folks. they are going fast. but when patton ran into a problem that he couldn't solve, he knew what to do. he prayed. frustrated by rains that were stalling the advance of his third army across europe in early december 1944, horrible

weather, patton asked an army chaplain to come up with a good prayer for the weather. patton then had a quarter million copies of that prayer copied and distributed to the soldiers of that army just before the battle of the bulge it was a big one. 500,000 american soldiers fought that pivotal battle of the second world war. one of those soldiers is here with us tonight. his name is harry f. miller. where is harry? where is harry. stand up, harry. [applause]

like many of the heroes of his generation, harry wasn't exactly straightforward about his age when he enlisted in the army reserves. shame on you, harry. he was just 15. but he told them he was old enough to join. then he immediately asked for a transfer to active duty. six months after he enlisted, private miller was on his way to europe to fight for our country. a couple months after that, he was in the freezing cold.

how cold was it? he said, really cold. and driving rains of belgium were the 740th tank battalion attached to the 82nd airborne. as the battle of the bulge began, harry got his orders to go find tanks at a weapons storage facility. he said when they arrived they found nothing but tanks. but they didn't let the tanks stop them. out of what spare parts they could find and through sheer grit and resolve they somehow managed to repair three of those tanks and get them set for action and ready to fight. and before long those three tanks were nose to nose with the lead elements of a german ss division, and that was tough

stuff. in a short time those tanks knocked out the first three tanks of the enemy and the entire german division retreated. they left. [cheers and applause] that's good, harry. that's good, harry. [crowd chants "harry"] >> harry fought through the battle and the rest of the war

and he went on to serve our armed forces for 22 years, retiring as a senior master sergeant. a lot of guts. harry will be 89 tomorrow. so on behalf of this very large group in this beautiful building. senior master sergeant miller happy birthday, thank you for your lifetime of service, and thank you for helping out. thank you very much, harry. [applause] every veteran with us tonight from every branch of the militarying with army, navy, marines, air force and coast guard. i want you to know that we'll always keep our promises to those who have kept us free. since my very first day in office we have taken one action

after another to make sure our veterans get the care they so richly deserve. we published wait times, those wait times were bad. weren't they? boy, are they getting better and fast. and we published them at every va facility, delivered same-day mental health services at every va medical center, nearly doubled [applause] the number of veterans given approval to see the doctor of their choice. and as i said just signed, brand-new legislation went through the house, went through the senate, and i signed it so fast. we didn't want to take any chances, right, harry?

to insure every va worker is held accountable for the quality of care they provide to our veterans. tonight we are deeply honored to be joined by a number of wounded warriors from walter reed. i was over there recently. these are incredible people. the enthusiasm and spirit, and some of them were hurt really badly. they have so much spirit and love this country so much. these american heroes risk everything so you and i can live in freedom. they gave all they had, everything. for their comrades, their country, and for victory. they like winning. we like winning again, don't we? you know, in the old days we

used to win. instead just keep fighting and fighting. we are going to win again, folks. we applaud their strength, their courage, and we really support that incredible will they have. the will is so strong and that's what they want to do. they want to win and win for you. thank you so as much for being here. that was great. one such hero is captain l luis avila. where is he? luis? we love you, luis. lurks is, wow. -- luis, wow.

[applause] luis is here tonight along with his wife claudia. thank you, darling. luis served in the army for 16 years. he held many different position on five combat tours. he was always a leader and everybody always said i did checking only you, and you did a great job no matter where you were and where you went. on his fifth deployment he bravely led his company on a successful mission to recover vital intelligence. during this critical mission his vehicle was struck by explosives. he was gravely wounds and lost his leg.

he received a purple heart for service and sacrifice. to luis and claudia we'll never forget the courageous sacrifice you made for us and everyone in our country. thank you, luis. [applause] i want you all and all of our incredible wounded warriors to know, you have an entire nation of more than 300 million people behind you. and our nation is getting strong again. did you notice? getting strong again.

our hearts and our prayers are joined with yours. your legacy like our gratitude will live forever and i want to thank you. thank you very much. claudia, thank you very much. thank you. i also want to speak to all of the people -- in our faith community who are here with us tonight. veterans and non-veterans alike. you are never going to be forgotten. you will never be forgotten. my administration will always support and defend your religious liberty.

we don't want to see god forced out of the public square, driven out of our schools, ored out of our i have -- or pushed out of our krif of -- of our civic lif. we want to see prayers before football games if they want to give prayers. [applause] we want all children to have the opportunity to know the blessings of god. we will not allow the government to censor sermons, to restrict the free speech our pass towards and our preachers and the people that we most respect. like robert.

[applause] that is why just as i promised, pastor jeffress and other faith leaders, i just signed an executive order following -- this is something that makes me very happy and very proud, following through on my campaign pledge to stop the johnson amendment from interfering with your first amendment rights. as long as i am president, no one is going to stop you from

practicing your faith or from preaching what is in your heart. we want to hear him. one of the most grave and dire threats to religious freedom in the world today is the threat of terrorism, and specifically it just seems it's called radical islamic terrorism. and we cannot allow this terrorism and extremism to spread in our country or to find sanctuary on our shores or in our cities. we want to make sure that anyone who seeks to join our country shares our values and has the

capacity to love our people. together we'll protect our families, our nation and our borders. for those that are curious, we'll build the wall. okay? because we understand that a country is more than just its geography. a nation is the sum of its citizens, their hopes, dreams and aspirations. america is a land rich with history, traditions and values. as we have seen tonight, what a group this is tonight.

america is also a land rich with heroes. and though we have many stories, we all share one home and one glorious destiny, a destiny that's getting better and better every single day. and whether we are black or brown or white, and you have heard me say this before, we all bleed the same red blood. we all salute the same great american flag.

and we are all made by the same almighty god. [cheers and applause] we face many challenges. there are many hills and mountains to climb. but with the strength and courage of the patriots assembled in this room tonight, we'll scare -- and we are doing it all the time, because we are scaling those summits, and we'll get the job done. we'll all prove worthy of this

very important moment in history. and we'll prove worthy of the sacrifice that our brave veterans have made. as long as we have pride in our beliefs, courage in our convictions, and faith in our god, we will not fail. [applause] as long as our country remains true to its values, loyal to its heroes, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come because we will make america great again.

to my friend, pastor jeffress, and to paula and luis and harry and louie, to everybody in this room and everybody in this country, thank you for your great support, i appreciate it. i will not let you down. to all of our incredible veterans two the people in the it in, and to evangelical christians who came out in record, record numbers, thank you, have a wonderful independence day, god bless you, god bless our nation's veterans, god bless the united states of america. thank you very much. thank you. thank you.

[♪] judge jeanine: president trump just wrapping a major speech in washington, d.c. honoring our veterans. welcome to this special weekend edition of just rise *' president at the kennedy center in our nation's capital just finishing a powerful address at if the freedom rally honoring our veterans, including our wounded warriors. joining me now with reaction to president trump's speech, retired navy seal who served two tours of duty. carl higbie. what's your reeve action to the president? >> powerful, powerful. this is a guy who shows so much respect and admiration for people who wore the uniform. you can make the point that president trump lost the popular vote by 5%, but he won the

veteran vote by 30%. and he pays it back. he genuinely cares about those who served their country. judge jeanine: the speech was powerful, it was passionate. he was hitting on those themes of good versus evil. when said there is no place i would rather be on my first 4th of july celebration as president than with you the veterans. there was no doubt in my mind that he meant it. >> 100%. this is a genuine guy. people who say they don't trust them, they haven't met him. you and i both know this is coming deep from his heart. i know his kids. and you know his family as well. he genuinely respects those in uniform because he knows those things that we all cherish in life wouldn't be possible without the people in uniform.

judge jeanine: one of the most significant quotes was he said in america we don't worship government, we worship god. then he continued by talking about the fact that no one was going to meddle in their faith and this is a country founded on the basic judeo-christian ethic. as we go forward. what do you think he's going to continue to do for the veterans in the this country? >> we saw him recently pass the va accountability act which had no support under obama. it allows him to basically can employees of the va who aren't doing their job and falling in line with typical bureaucrat i can policies. for 20-30 years we needed this reform. he has a number of things in the pipeline. the biggest thing is allowing the military to do what the military does. you can see what he has done

with secretary mattis with the pentagon. he allowed the military to operate as a military force. not a diplomatic force. he's allowing us to do our job we didn't have that the last administration. judge jeanine: carl, yo you area navy seal, you were in iraq. when you think about the 4th of july and independence day, what does this conjure up in your mind as a veteran. >> it's a couple bling experience. -- it's a humbling experience. it brings tears to my eyes. i sat there with my daughter today and explained to her what it means to be an american. how important it is. we are the enjoy of the entire planet and nobody has been able

to achieve what we have. it's something that is truly special to be part of this and celebrate this 4th of july holiday. judge jeanine: let me say on behalf of so many americans, thank you for your service and what you have done. carl higbie, thanks for being with us tonight. next, more reaction to president trump's memorable speech at the kennedy center. we'll be back in a moment. i never miss an early morning market. but with my back pain i couldn't sleep or get up in time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. and now. i'm back! aleve pm for a better am. so find a venus smooth that contours to curves, the smoother the skin, the more comfortable you are in it. flexes for comfort, and has a disposable made for you. skin smoothing venus razors.

estimated 11 seconds of gunfire. police credit quick work by first responders for the reason there were no fatalities. they believe it was gang related. iraqi forces are working to flesh out the last isis forces in mosul. the u.n. warns the intense work there put tens of thousands civilians still there at greater risk of danger. i'm marianne rafferty. now back to "justice with judge jeanine." judge jeanine: president trump just wrapping a moving speech in d.c. to veterans. joining me by phone with reaction to that peach and more, counselor to the president, kellyanne conway. >> good evening, judge.

what your reaction to the president's speech? >> this is why the president ran in the first place. he honored christians and veterans. last year, maybe last july, mr. trump when he was running put the whole challenge to this country when he said sure i have a 10-point plan to reform the veterans administration. and more importantly if we don't take care of our veterans, who are we as a nation. tonight at the kennedy center he's honoring the veterans. and he conveyed the message, saying what's in your heart. the administration will always support and defend religious liberty. we don't want god forced out of our public square.

we should be comfortable to say prayers before a meal and ate called out an 89-year-old world war ii veteran which was remarkable. he talked about education and the role of parents. he said parents, not bureaucrats know best how to raise their children. why is that important? washington, d.c. is the place where the federal government believes in invasive and intrusive. the president is saying individuals and parents know what's best for their children. judge jeanine: it seemed to me the president, he's always at his best when he talks about the military, talks about law enforcement and religion. these are three things he promised. he's delivering on. that he will continue to deliver on. as someone of faith, for me to hear my president, it's so

unusual these days, you want to say a prayer before a football game? it's reassuring. but the president is at this point has i think made it clear what his strengths are. and he needs to stay focused on speeches like this and not get crazy with twitter. >> i love that he speaks directly to the people on social media. we appreciate the you are covering the substance. because the other things talked about tonight, he mentioned all the promises he's keeping on the supreme court and judicial restraint. you are one of the few shows that even bothers to connect veterans with the information they need and deserve. the veterans hotline and the accountability and protection act. nothing short of remarkable.

then i think he got raucous applause when he talked about how he worshiped god, you don't worship the government in this country. that encapsulate who he is. judge jeanine: that's the most powerful line in the speech. in america we don't worship government, we worship god. senator mitch mcconnell said he's going to stick with his plan to simultaneously repeal and replace obamacare despite the president's call saying let's repeel it and replace it later. what i interpreted as sarcasm was mitch mcconnell saying it's not easy making america great again, is it. is mcconnell showing himself to be that old entrenched establishment republican fighting with the outsider or am i wrong? >> the president and leader neck

connell speak daily. they are in close contact. and i have great confidence that this republican majority that the country elected, house, senate, white house, governorship, state legislatures, they want action. they don't want divided government. they are saying couple with a deal. another option is to go back and look at what the senators voted on in 2015. senator collins voted for specific healthcare principles, namely to get rid of all the taxes attached to obamacare. to slow the growth on the expansion. slow it down so that governors have more flexibility and as secretary price pointed out, the senate bill would increase funding by $71 million on immediate dade next decade. for those who lie about that,

they are denying they are lying about that. we feel confident something will pass this summer. the president will get a bill on his desk. judge jeanine: my money is on that as well. i was surprised by mitch mcconnell's comment. but the president hit it out of the park tonight. he was solid and passionate on all his promises he has been delivering on, and tremendous respect for the veterans. >> the president was with his family enjoying a well deserved day or two and he flew right back to washington to make good on that promise to, the veterans at kennedy center. judge jeanine: when he said there is no place i would rather be, he meant it. seeu soon, happy birthday america.

take care. judge jeanine: faith, a huge part of the president's speech. americans - 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day men's complete with key nutrients we may need. plus heart-health support with b vitamins. one a day men's in gummies and tablets. when this bell rings... ...it starts a chain reaction... ...that's heard throughout the connected business world. at&t network security helps protect business, from the largest financial markets to the smallest transactions, by sensing cyber-attacks in near real time and automatically deploying countermeasures. keeping the world of business connected and protected.

to talk about the reasons he got elected to bring back jobs and strike fair trade deals, immigration jobs. but what i really appreciated was his -- he was not bashful about talking about faith, his christian faith. he's all about religious liberties and god. he's interested in defending the liberty of christians, not just muslims like our last president. i never heard a single liberal attack any plus slim church for not having gay weddings and for not honoring the rights of women and transgenders. but this president is going the extra mile to honor people of faith. i even appreciate -- the left, it's incredible to watch how they haven't gotten over how donald trump win. when he hits them back on

twitter, i actually appreciate that. in the last two generations we have gone from movie stars like john wayne and clint eastwood to johnny depp. and from douglas macarthur to wesley clark and colin paul. i'm glad to see we are finally getting back to a bold leader who is willing to speak his minds like, judge je jeanine. judge jeanine: he made reference to the johnson amendment and the executive order saying they are not going to enforce it. but besty devos i believe did

something that affects organizations like liberty university, the largest christian university in the country. >> i just yesterday she stopped the enactment of the gainful emfloiment rules that were supposed to go into effect today. it would have caused bureaucrat i can nate mayors for our students. 1,031 students will not have to fill out extra forms filling out something too the government that they already submitted. you probably haven't heard about it anywhere in the news that she did it and we appreciate it have much. judge jeanine: no surprise we didn't hear about it in the news. but thanks so as much. i speak with parents who know all too well why we need to track down on illegal t immigration. stay with us. tomorrow is not a given. but entresto is a medicine that helps make more tomorrows possible. ♪ tomorrow, tomorrow... ♪ i love ya, tomorrow in the largest heart failure study ever, entresto helped more people stay alive

judge jeanine: my next two guests know all too well the critical need for the legislation the gop-led house passed this week. her daughter was cut short a day before her 16th birthday in new york. good evening. i apologize ahead of time. segment is short because of all that's been going on during the show. but this week the republican-led gop in the house passed the

immigration bill, kate's law. trying to defund sanctuary cities. as a parent who lost a beautiful flower. what's your reaction to the passage? >> i think it's a great bill. when i first heard about it, i told elizabeth about what kate's law is what. we both were happy cities are being basically denied money for the services of basically harboring criminals. judge jeanine: and not working with other law enforcement. you have been through so much since september. the thought of this happening to other parents and, you know, legislators voting against kate's law, how does that make you feel? >> they should try a little bit harder. families need to come together and come teen agreement to fight

for what -- you know, fight for your kids. judge jeanine: last thoughts before we go? >> i always think it's a great thing. but we also cannot be divided from our local law enforcement to help get these criminals out. judge jeanine: hopefully you are healing a little bit since the last time we were on. thanks for being with us, and thank you so much for watching us. see you next week. to all those veterans, thank you, god bless. we are all grateful for what you have done for us. good night.
